The only identifier for this glass negative is the rank and surname "Col. Birch," a title the Bain News Service recorded on its caption card without verification. The agency, founded in New York around the turn of the century by George Grantham Bain, supplied news pictures to newspapers, and its tens of thousands of negatives document the people and events of that busy period. Because this plate is undated, researchers usually check such names against period newspapers before drawing firm conclusions about who is pictured.
